Chapter 9: Another Dollar, Another Day

Logan yawned as he woke up. He tired to sit up but a pair of arms around him prevented him from moving. Logan looked down at Kendall. He smiled as memories of last night flooded back to him.

"Morning Logiebear," Kendall said smiling.

"Morning my shining Knight," Logan said, his voice slightly horse. He smiled back at Kendall. He moved to sit up but a dull pain shot through his spine. He winced slightly. The pain he was in now was worth it.

"You ok?" Kendall asked worried.

"Just a little sore," Logan said his voice still a little horse, "and losing my voice," he added.

"I never would've pegged you as a screamer," Kendall teased. Logan hit Kendall's shoulder with a 'shut up' and he blushed as well. Logan wiggled out of Kendall's arms and instantly regretted it. Pain surged though his spine again.

"I am so glad we have the day off," Logan said trying to clear his throat and sound somewhat normal. Kendall laughed and nodded. There was no way Logan could go into work like this. Gustavo would be so mad if he heard Logan's voice right now.

A knock on their door scared them.

"Kendall, Logan, get up Gustavo wants us to come in and redo some of the recording for our new song," James called through the door. Logan groaned as Kendall laughed.

"We'll be out in a few," Kendall called. He slowly got out of bed and walked around to Logan's side of the bed and helped him up. "Go take a shower it will help with your back, and I'll see if we have any tea or lemons and maybe some honey," he said. Logan nodded and Kendall helped Logan to their bathroom and into the shower. He left Logan to shower and quickly dressed himself. He walked out to the kitchen.

"Where's Logan?" James asked.

"Taking a shower," Kendall said. He walked over to Mrs. Knight, "Mom I think Logan's coming down with something, his throat is bugging him do we have any tea?" he asked.

"Yeah," Mrs. Knight said, "I'll boil the water," she said. Kendall smiled and thanked her as he walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed an apple for himself. He sat down at the table. Mrs. Knight got the water ready.

"So how was your guys' date last night?" James asked curiously.

"It was great," Kendall said, "He loved everything and we watched a movie and then went to bed," he said shrugging. He looked over at his mom who was getting ready to leave.

"He liked the lights?" Carlos asked.

"He loved everything," Kendall said nodding.

"I have to go," Mrs. Knight said getting the three boys' attention, "I have a few errands to run and Kendall when the kettle starts to whistle take it off the heat and pour some water into a cup and put the tea bag in the cup," she said holding up a box for Kendall to see. Kendall nodded and stood to give her a kiss. She gave Carlos and James a hug and left. James and Carlos then turned to Kendall.

"What really happened last night?" James asked.

"I am not one to kiss and tell," Kendall said, "I'm also not one to have sex and shut up about it either," he added quickly smiling.

"So you two actually had sex then?" James asked.

"I told him we could wait and that we didn't have to," Kendall said, "but he told me he didn't want to let all the decorations you two morons put up to go to waste and one thing led to another," Kendall said.

"Yeah, and Kendall if you keep telling our friends about our sex life we won't have a sex life for you to talk about," Logan said as he walked out of their room buttoning his shirt up and a sweater draped over his arm as he worked. His voice was still a little horse. He walked down the hall to join his friends.

"Wow you've only done it once and he's already threatening you with sex," James said earning a glare from Logan.

"Logan what's wrong with you're voice?" Carlos asked.

"Sore throat," Logan said as the tea kettle on the stove started to whistle.

Kendall jumped up and removed it from the heat and poured some water into the cup set out. Logan grabbed the box of tea and looked at it. He grabbed a bag and set it in the water and moved to the refrigerator. He grabbed a small lemon and some honey. He cut the lemon and squeezed a small amount into his tea and squirted some honey in as well.

James and Carlos moved to the living room to watch some TV before they left. Logan tried to sit but it was too uncomfortable. He settled for leaning against the counter.

"Logan I am sorry," Kendall whispered in his ear as he grabbed the small boy and pulled him to himself. "I really didn't think Gustavo would change his mind," he said in a low voice.

"I know," Logan said, "but it's worth it," he said. Kendall smiled and leaned in and pressed his lips to Logan's. He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against Logan's. "Now drink your tea it should help." he said. Logan nodded but stole another kiss before moving to his tea.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

"Dogs," Gustavo said once the four arrived at the studio. The four looked at him waiting for him to continue. "I was listening to the vocals I had you do yesterday and they weren't all that good and I need some redone," he said.

"Just tell us what to do," James said.

"In the booth we need to fix some harmonies," Gustavo said.

"Kay, let's go," Logan said his voice still a little scratchy. He froze and Gustavo looked at him weird.

"Logan what's wrong with your voice?" Kelly asked slowly.

"Nothing," Logan said his voice higher than normal. He squeaked. "Oh no, I'm losing my voice," he said worriedly.

"It's worse than it was earlier," James pointed out.

"Really I hadn't noticed," Logan snapped sarcastically. He turned to Kendall. "I think I'm coming down with something," he said.

"You probably over used your voice I mean Gustavo has been running us really hard," Kendall said looking up at their boss. "A few days off would probably do you good," he said. He turned to Gustavo and looked at him.

"I am not giving all you dogs off," Gustavo said.

"That's your call but sooner or later we'll all be like Logie here," Kendall said placing his arm around Logan's shoulder.

"Fine three days," Gustavo said looking at the four boys. "I want you all back here on Thursday," he said looking at them. They nodded and all but ran from the studio. Logan and Kendall were the first two outside.

"You were great," Kendall said looking at Logan.

"Thanks," Logan said his voice normal again.

"Your voice," Carlos said shocked. He and James looked at Logan shocked.

"Congratulations Kendall you've finally corrupted him," James said clapping the blone on the shoulder.

"When did you two have time to plan that," Carlos asked curiously.

"While you guys were watching TV," Logan said shrugging.

The ride back to the Palm Woods was a loud one filled with laughter and making plans for the next three days. They decided today was a beautiful day and head to the beach. They walked into the apartment and saw Katie sitting on the couch watching TV.

"I thought you were supposed to be working," Katie said her eyes never leaving the TV.

"Thanks to Logie we have the next here days off," Kendall said as he wrapped his arms around Logan's waist.

"Logan?" Katie asked finally turning to look at him. Kendall nodded. "You're finally rubbing off on him," she said.

"I know," Kendall said.

"We decided to go to the beach wanna come?" Logan asked as he stepped out of Kendall's arms and walked over to Katie. "I know this place where not many people go so we'll be mostly alone," he said turning to the guys. "No Paparazzi," he said.

"I'm in," Kendall said.

"Me too," Katie said jumping up.

"Us too," Carlos said.

"Alright let's get ready and we leave in an hour," Logan said as he started for his and Kendall's room. Kendall followed him. They both moved to their dressers and grabbed their swim things. Kendall walked over to their door and locked it.

"Logie," Kendall said walking over to the brunette.

"Yes Kenny," Logan said turning around. He saw Kendall was standing directly behind him. He let out a small unmanly squeak as Kendall took him in his arms. Kendall leaned in so his lips were close to Logan's ear.

"Have I ever told you how hot you are," Kendall asked his breath tickling Logan's ear. Logan shuddered at the sensation. "Watching you lie to Gustavo and Kelly was awesome and kind of a turn on," he said softly. He gently took Logan's ear lobe in his teeth and tugged on it. A small whimper escaped Logan's lips. Kendall moved to the flesh behind his ear and sucked lightly. Logan let out a small moan. "Did I find a sensitive spot?" Kendall asked playfully.

"We-we have to get ready," Logan said giving Kendall a soft shove. He was getting turned on by Kendall's actions. They could do that right now, they had ringer ready and James, Carlos, and Katie were in the apartment.

"We have an hour," Kendall said in a low husky voice. Logan groaned as the words went straight to his groin. Logan shook his head and tried again to push Kendall away.

"Kendall no," Logan said.

"Fine, then you have to take care of this on your own," Kendall said reaching down and squeezing Logan's semi hard cock. Logan moaned and bit his lip. He was getting more turned on by the second.

"Fine," Logan caved, "a quick blow and nothing else," he said dropping to his knees.

"I can live with that," Kendall said.

"Good because it's all your getting for awhile," Logan said.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

Logan watched Kendall, Katie, James, and Carlos splash one another in the water. They spot they were at was hidden from the view of most people. They were alone for the most part. Logan laid back on the beach blanket and closed his eyes. A few minutes passed and he felt a shadow looming over him.

"Yes Kendall?" he asked. He didn't need to open his eyes to need to know it was Kendall.

"Why are you lying here alone?" Kendall asked.

"Because the water is cold," Logan said.

"Aw come on it's fun," Kendall said sitting down next to Logan. Logan finally opened his eyes and looked at Kendall. He was dripping wet. Logan mouth wet dry as he looked at Kendall. He tore his eyes away from Kendall and looked out at their friends.

"I'm still feeling a little sore," Logan admitted his cheeks flushing red.

"Oh," Kendall said. "I'm sorry," he said looking away from Logan.

"It's ok," Logan said sitting up. "I told you it was worth it. Last night was amazing," he said smiling at Kendall. Kendall returned his smile and pecked him on the lips before getting up and returning to the water. Logan laid back down. He was content to just lay there, while the other had fun.

"Logan come join us," Carlos called from the water.

"I'm fine over here," Logan called back.

"Quit being boring and get in the water," Katie yelled.

"I do not want to," Logan said. The four went back to splashing each other again. Logan relaxed once again. He felt a shadow come over him. Logan opened his eyes in time to see Carlos wring his shirt out over him getting him wet. Logan gasped shocked and looked up at Carlos.

"Just thought I'd bring the water to you," Carlos said laughing.

"You're dead," Logan said angrily. He sat up and Carlos took off running. Logan chased after him. Carlos ran into the water. Logan stopped once he realized what Carlos was doing. "I am not getting in the water," Logan said stubbornly.

"Yes you are," Kendall said from behind Logan. Logan jumped and turned around. He looked at Kendall. He hadn't noticed the blonde wasn't in the water.

"I've been ambushed," Logan said. Kendall picked Logan up and carried him into the water until they were waist deep with the others. "That was so unfair," Logan said after Kendall set him down. He turned around and splashed Kendall laughing at the shocked look on Kendall's face. Soon the five were splashing one another and having fun. A few hours later they decided to head home.

"We should have a movie night tonight," Carlos said as they walked up to their car.

"Yeah, we could rent a few movies and stay up all night," James said.

"Sounds like fun," Kendall said.

"As long as it's not only horror movies I'm in," Katie said, "I mean I love horror movies but they get old after awhile," Katie said.

"Katie and I will be in charge of getting movies," Logan said.

"We'll get snack," James said referring to himself, Kendall, and Carlos.

The five piled into the car and headed to a grocery store to get some snacks. Katie and Logan walked he few blocks to the video store. Katie ran ahead leaving Logan behind. Logan laughed at her eagerness. Katie reached the store well before Logan.

-The Ballad of Mona Lisa-

Kendall, James, and Carlos moved about getting snacks for their impromptu movie night. They had split up to get the things they wanted, but reunited to get a few more things. This was going to be a fun night. Kendall was excited about cuddling with his Logie. Kendall like just being with Logan. Anything they did together, was fine with him. He didn't mind cuddling, especially when it was with Logan. James and Carlos were just looking forward to staying up all night.

"I hope Katie at least doesn't pick any chick flicks," James said as he trailed behind Kendall and Carlos.

"Oh god I hope not," Kendall said, "She can convince Logan of anything," he said suddenly scared. Katie was mature for her age and liked a lot of things the guys liked, but she was still a girl. Katie would never admit it but she did love chick flicks and other girly things. That influence was because of Camille. Kendall was glad Camille and Katie got along. Camille, crazy as she was, was a good influence on Katie. Despite their age difference the two were good friends. Camille could help Katie with things the boys couldn't. Katie and Camille had a bond that Kendall and Katie didn't. Camille was the big sister Katie has never had.

"Katie has us all wrapped around her finger," Carlos said. The other two nodded in agreement. The finished their search for snacks and paid for their food. They walked back out to the car and drove to the video store and headed inside to see if Katie and Logan were done yet. They walked in and quickly found Katie browsing. They quickly joined her while she looked at some action movies.

"Hey Katie where's Logie," Kendall asked looking around. He did not see the short brunette around anywhere. He knew Logan was short, but he was still taller than the video stands.

"He was right behind me on he way here," Katie said looking around as well. She hadn't noticed he wasn't with her. The four split up and looked for Logan, but he wasn't in the store. Kendall was starting to get worried. He and James headed back out to the parking lot to look around. This was not like Logan at all. Kendall pulled his cell phone out and dialed Logan's number. He got excited when he heard the ring. He turned around and saw the car behind him. James pulled Logan's cell phone out of the car. Kendall hung up.

"Something's wrong I just know it," Kendall said looking at the phone in James' hand. He couldn't help but worry. This was not like Logan. He never left his cell phone, and he definitely did not just disappear.

"Kendall calm down," James said, "I'm sure he just got distracted and went into another store and his phone probably fell out of his pocket in the car," he said.

"Where would he go," Kendall asked looking around.

"This is not like Logan at all," James said. Kendall started down the street looking for any store that might of caught Logan's attention. Then they heard it. A scream. Kendall's heart started racing. He recognized that voice. He and James started running towards the screams.
